Saving Faith

Monday, 1 September, 2014
Hezekiah ― Saving Faith

Teacher: Hezekiah ―
The spiritual is real, and it manifests itself in degrees of purity. God’s nature being the purest of all is perceived in its infiniteness only by the Gods of the Trinity. Faith is an endowment from the Father, capable of perceiving the spiritual. It is nonetheless interpreted by mind, which when unaided by revelation can, and surely will, present many distortions. Your decision of hopefully acting on the impressions that faith has caused in you, effectively entitles you to eternal life – because eternal life was, is and always will be by means of this Fundamental Faith, that believes and longs for that which is beyond the simply material.

Stagnant Faith and Living Faith

Stagnant Faith and Living Faith

Teacher Prolotheos:
Let us take this opportunity to turn our attention to the desirability of a dynamic faith, and the emptiness of a stagnant faith. Unfortunately, most evolutionary religious systems produce only stagnant faith; and so, their adepts are far away from living a satisfying spiritual life.

A stagnant faith is characterized by its immobility – it does not progress. The beliefs held by the religionist are rather crystallized in time. When faith crystallizes, it becomes dogmatic, a belief ultimately locked in with suspension or suppression of reasoning, for a dogma does not allow questioning. All forms of religious systems are prone to this stagnation of faith for it reflects a need for security (no change) by the believer.

To the Glory of the Father

To the Glory of the Father

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
How does one live a life that is a revelation to the glory of the Father? It would make sense to first clarify what we mean by the expression ‘to the glory of the Father’. The essence of the Father is love and when this love is manifested by the personality of God it turns into goodness. Therefore, the glory of God is the triumph of goodness in all creation. To live for the glory of the Father is nothing but following His Will in such a way that you become an agent of His goodness. In this way, others would be able to recognize in you and through your actions, the divine goodness that inspires you and they would discover the Father through you.

Commonalities among Religions

Commonalities among Religions

Teacher: Prolotheos ―
What divides human beings are their differences. What unites them are their commonalities. The different religions on Urantia will remain in conflict with each other while you focus on their differences, rather than on their commonalities. What you have in common with others will make you focus on what is basic, essential or primordial. The differences are construed upon what is secondary, derivative and superfluous. The interchange of knowledge and spiritual aspects from the different religions should bring mutual improvement to every religion, acknowledging and incorporating the advanced features of each.

The Reciprocation, not censorship

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
You heard of a little girl who, intent at pleasing her mother, doodled with a sharp stone on the body of her car. How does the parent respond to the startling consequences of such a pure intention? Will it backfire on the well-intended wannabee artist with the unforeseen boomerang effect of a puzzling harsh punishment? Will mom angrily acknowledge the scribbly token of her child’s affection, or will she be moved to her very core by such an innocent gesture?

Why Faith?

Thursday, 3 October, 2013
Why Faith?

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
A religious practice always requires an element of faith. It is always necessary to believe in what is yet to be reached. This faith should not be a new experience for a human being. Children are educated to be better prepared for adult life. However, growing up is not a guarantee, it is instead a hope. A little one could think, ‘why invest so much effort at school if I am not even sure I will grow up?’ Looking at the infant mortality rates all over this world would give some validity to this thought. However, this attitude would be unwise. If the child is not prepared for the demands of adult life, he or she will have a great disadvantage compared to others. And even if the child dies before growing up, her life would have certainly been enriched by the acquired knowledge. She would have enjoyed many pleasant experiences during her school life and experience the satisfaction of mastering new things. Educating a child for the future is an act of faith.

The Real Deal

Friday, 25 December, 2020
real miracle of Christmas

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
In your folk tradition, a bearded, chubby, rosy-cheeked, and jolly Santa Claus—aka Father Christmas—tours your planet on a starry night in a gravitation-exempt sled driven by red-nosed reindeers that effortlessly ferry tons of gifts for home deliveries from an undisclosed North Pole location. They follow a precisely charted route. Each present has been carefully selected and custom-built in Santa’s giant state-of-the-art manufacture by myriads of green-hatted merry elves who diligently refer to the good and naughty lists as criteria for their secret operation.

Warnings of More Changes to Come that will Bring Havoc

Teacher: Augustine ―
Beloved souls, I am your Teacher Augustine. The first wave of this flame of disease that has swept over the Earth has now been controlled in many places but continues to burn in others. I come to warn you, beloved souls, that in the near future there will be more that will come to cause havoc in your lives. These conditions that have brought on such a disease continue to smoulder within the ground, within the environment of this Earth and will come again. So I urge you to be prepared. Be prepared in your physical needs and to be vigilant as you open your doors and windows and emerge out of your isolation into the world.

Prescription for Prayer

Friday, 1 May, 2020
Thought Adjuster

Teacher: Thought Adjuster ―
Unlike many of your prescription drugs, prayer has no negative side-effects. I am talking here about ‘authentic’ prayer — the one that surges from a wide-open heart, in contrast with the one recited by rote as the performance of a religious ‘duty’ advertised to earn you brownie points for good behavior. Prayer is more than asking for divine favors. Neither is it exerting undue pressure by ‘cutting deals’ with your Maker, hoping to twist His Arm and have Him see things your way.

Father’s Teaching On Viruses And Diseases

Algimantas -
My beloved Father, Eternal Mother, Infinite Mother, and I AM, I worship and glorify you, and I desire to receive a teaching from you on the origin of viruses and the method of their proliferation as I wrote my own teaching in which I said that viruses are produced by human low frequency vibration general circuit and by the frequency within an individual, and it is the only cause of their appearance within and among us.
I was asked on our Forum about the origin of viruses within animals and beasts, which I would like to hear from you, as well as an expanded response on passing viruses to others.

The Formula for Effective Prayer

Sunday, 22 December, 2019
Trinity Teacher Uteah

Teacher: Trinity Teacher Uteah
Effective Prayer is a clear communication of your intentions between you and your Indwelling Spirit (the Presence of the Creator Father), that may include your personal guidance team and or your Divine Parents, or other beings of light. Understanding the “formula” for effective prayer is important for your spiritual growth and faith. By exercising this faith through prayer, you are developing a relationship of trust with your Indwelling Spirit; your guides and Divine Parents. Trust and belief that Spirit has the far seeing view with the highest good possible for you and those you pray for is essential in building an effective prayer that is intelligent and true to your soul’s intentions.

Behold Something of Beauty

Sunday, 13 October, 2019
Trinity Teacher Uteah

Teacher: Trinity Teacher Uteah
There is a saying on your world that “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder.”  While this is certainly a valid philosophic euphemism of individual choice, it does require that you actually take the time to “behold” something of beauty.  The minds of Urantians are often busy with the mundane experiences of their labors and filled with the shocking news of how cruel their world is and the perplexing behaviors of people who cause suffering for themselves and others. If you were to chart how much time you spend in an average week beholding something beautiful, you would be shocked to discover how poor in spirit you really are.  Beauty can disarm even the most aggressive behavior and inspire creative genius. When you make more time for beholding the beauty of your world, instead of the ugliness, you will discover that you want more of this in your life and you will want to share it with others.

Be the Living Proof

Saturday, 13 July, 2019
Trinity Teacher Uteah

“Dedicate your life to the great work of showing how the critical material mind of man can triumph over the inertia of intellectual doubting when faced by the demonstration of the manifestation of living truth as it operates in the experience of spirit-born men an women who yield the fruits of the spirit in their lives, and who love one another, even as I have loved you”. [Urantia Book, 181:02.26]

Trinity Teacher Uteah:
Indeed, man’s material mind is critical by nature, as it believes what it sees but doubts what is not part yet of its experience. The above recommendation was Jesus’ intimate farewell admonition to ‘doubting’ Thomas. Thomas did, at times, waver in his faith, as he filtered his beliefs through the sieve of his imperfect intellectual understanding and sense of discernment. However, once they passed that test, he never failed to take bold action.

Stay with Me on this Journey

Sunday, 8 September, 2019
Teacher I AM

Teacher: I AM
Dear One,
When you find yourself in a sea of doubt and you cannot see the shoreline, hold tight to the stern of the ship and let my guidance steer you home.  Many in these times of correction are uncertain about their future and with this uncertainty comes fear.  Fear and uncertainty do not have to co-exist together, for uncertainty will always be something you will face throughout your long universe career, and fear is  not an adjective to uncertainty.  Faith is your “wind in the sails” that shall carry you home and it is during these times of great uncertainty that faith is needed.  Open your sails to it and steer clear of the fear, for in doing so, you will find that guidance comes when you need it most.
